Sandia Lakes Recreation Area is a carefully maintained multi-use park covering 40 acres of mature cottonwood bosque along the Rio Grande River. Located on NM 313, just north of the intersection of 2nd and 4th streets, it offers an ideal escape from the urban environment. Visitors can enjoy year-round fishing, cool, shaded picnicking, or just strolling on improved trails through one of the oldest bosques in the southwest.
Trout are stocked during the cooler months of October through May. Catfish are stocked during the warmer months of June through September. Largemouth bass are also in the lakes, reproducing naturally. A state fishing license is not required.

Tingley Beach has three fishing ponds which are stocked about every two weeks by the New Mexico Department of Game and Fish
The fishing year is April 1 to March 31.
